Gatorade Original Thirst Quencher

Pros: Does help with dehydration.
Cons: Not a miracle cure.

I am not an expert on dehydration but I do know that it can happen to the best of us no matter how hard we try.

Take for instance when we get sick or sweat a lot we can loose those precious fluids that we need to help keep us healthy and...

Pros: great flavor, replacement for electrolytes and carbs
Cons: none

I think it has this reputation because you see so many athletes drinking it. Gatorade does not promise to make you a better athlete as much as we wish it would.

I have been drinking Gatorade for years. I prefer the lemon lime flavor but it...

Pros: Recommended by Grandson's Doctor. Doesn't fill him up like milk.
Cons: none

We took my 4 year old Grandson to his Doctor recently because he was not eating and when he did eat he threw it all up especially at night.

The Doctor told us that he is drinking too much milk and that he should only be given 24 ounces of milk...

Pros: Some find the flavor pleasing, does what it's meant to do.
Cons: High in sugar, watered down taste.

I have a tough time wrapping my mind around the idea of Gatorade being "sports nutrition." While I have, on rare occasions, used it as an electrolytic replacement (when my usual drinks are not available), I can't get around the idea that it is,...

Pros: many flavors, quenches thirst
Cons: expensive, high sugar/sodium/calories

Ahhh.. Gatorade. One of my favorite beverages. I have been
drinking Gatorade Original Thirst Quencher for over
5 years now and it has become a regular staple in our
house. My husband adores it too and we go through about
2...

Pros: tastes good, works fast
Cons: could be cheaper

I’ve been drinking Gatorade since I was too young to know what dehydration was. I’ve tried every flavor available from the regular, ready to drink form to powder to liquid concentrate. I guess you can say I’m a heavy drinker...A heavy...

Pros: Yummy, and increases performance
Cons: Will make you go to the bathroom often if you keep drinking it

"Water Sucks, Gatorade is Better" Spoken in the film "The Waterboy" by Coach Klien. Is it perhaps true that Gatorade is better than water?

Being one who would trust The Waterboy, I set out on my own quest to not only quench...

Pros: Healthier than soda or most bottled juices, works better than water to rehydrate, tastes great
Cons: None

"Gatorade is thirst-ade, for that deep down body thirst!", went the commercials in the Eighties. It's quite a phenomenon, Gatorade: successfully positioned as a high-tech mix of vital nutrients, superior to water or soda. Well, I think it IS superior, ...

Pros: refreshing and flavorful
Cons: some flavors are bland

I have been working at a convenience store for the past year to get myself through college. One of the duties I took on was to stock the cooler. Incidentally, you'd be surprised how happy you could be standing in a cooler knowing you won't be bothered...

Pros: Rehydrates quickly
Cons: There's no substitution for water

It's every kids' dream to skip school, for whatever the reason. I, too, am guilty of this fantasy. Even I have pulled the "But I'm sick!" routine. It's fun to pretend to be sick and have someone dote on you, but it's a totally different story when you're ...

Pros: proven, scientifically formulated, performance booster during athletic events
Cons: not really nutritious, not for everyday use

Actually, I think that it is Michael Jordan who endorses this product. But I was never one to like a product based on athlete's endorsement. This guy also endorses Hanes underwear (enough said).

I like to look at products on their own merits....

Pros: Contains electrolytes, critical for the body's health. Many tasty flavors.
Cons: Some flavors aren't great. Some bottles are expensive.

Well, I found a subject that I know a good bit about. Gatorade! Heaven knows I consume enough of the stuff. I should be writing their television advertisements for them. I should also own stock in their company!

With the medical...

Pros: Mild Flavor Helps Stop Upset Stomach
Cons: None

Gatorade Original is a very trusted and widely used product in our home. While we prefer the bold taste of the Gatorade Fierce product in times of thirst-quenching times, we seek the mild taste of Gatorade Original in times of illness where fluids need...

Pros: Does the trick - it never fails -
Cons: None that I can think of

Rehydration is not only vital after competition or training. Heck, it is a necessary process even if you are just sweating over a hot stove in an un air-conditioned kitchen on a 100 degree day. Ever garden on a hot summer day or decide to do any...

Pros: Thirst quencher, replaces important minerals and fluids
Cons: high calories, high sugar, can be somewhat expensive.

I've been drinking Gatorade for over 10 years, thanks to sports and soccer. My family was always on the go, with me in cheerleading,dance,soccer,and swim, and my brother and sister in nearly that many activities themselves. We quickly discovered that...
